Re: List Restarting

The screens all refer to "restarting", but the entries in the
errors txt file refer to "reloading" From your definitions, I
would say it is reloading because the emails do eventually send
sequentially

Ah That discrepancy is incredibly confusing I'll pop open a bug and
get that fixed up

It appears to send one email, then I get a message saying "Mailing
automatically restarting in 49 seconds " and that counts down to 0
and then the next email is sent This keeps repeating for each
email Occasionally I get a completely blank screen that just says
"restarting mailing "

Hmm Unless you're using a Windows platform (and even then), this
shouldn't happen - it means either something is mucking up with the
fork()ing process or the sleep()ing process This happens on really
really cheap accounts Are you on a dedicated server, or something
more like shared host? If it's a shared host, which one?

The other scenario when this happens is when you check the option:

[ ] Restart Mailings After Each Batch

In the list control panel, under, Manage List -> Sending Options

Don't ever ever use this option, unless you really need to It
basically does exactly what you're experiencing, which is less than
what you really want

Sometimes after counting down to 0, the message doesn't send and it
needs to count down to 0 again This can cycle like this quite a
few times before the next email is actually sent

OK;

I am attaching a document with all the screenshots I see while
trying to send a 3-recipient list, and the errors txt log

If you're interested in doing some further debugging, I can give you
directions on how to REALLY get some interesting debugging
information For something like 3 subscribers, it may actually be easy
enough to slog through Interested?
